I'm calling it now. She killed her sister accidentally.

She always was a generic and unfitting character. I don't really care if her story is awfully generic as long as it makes sense to be in the game. But you can never please these headcanon obsessed boards.

Riot, you evil bastards! What dark, disturbing & traumatizing shit did you put our favorite baby girl through? TELL ME!!!

No, seriously tell me. I'm interested.

Are we going to see an innocent child having a tantrum, destroying everyone harmed her and people she loves?

I'm into it. Take me in.

Seems like she lost her twin somehow.

#Spoiler: Annie is actually two gay guys that merged together into the form of a little girl.

Looks like a trailer for a Stephen King movie.

Ah, childhood trauma. The best ingredient for a well constructed character.

Am I the only one who fears it's going to be Frozen "ripoff" ("Scorched") and additionally it ends up with Annie not being able to control her powers, accidentally killing her sister and/or her parents, becoming psycho and this way taking control of her powers?

So.... You gave Annie a tragic backstory? LIKE WHY!!!! I mean Annie Parents are the one supposed to have a back story. Not Annie Herself! You just made her a mage that can not control their power so she hurts people dear to hear archtype....

What is wrong with her being a prodigy and being cocky about her, you know like a real kid would do!

good for annie, she deserves something nice.

I have no idea what to speculate at this point other than she probably isn't having a good childhood

Edit:btw it has been confirmed that she will.get a 6 minute cinematic tomorrow.

its nice to see a story that explores world of an actual child in league's universe , no Zoe doesnt count too many complex " she is an ancient being" stuff in it!

I hope this comes qith a small VU a la Miss Fortune, because otherway we have a great cinematic and her old crappy ingame model that does not fit it AT ALL.

if annie is getting a lore update, does this mean that her skin splash art will get an update too? lol

Look how much more promotional, world building activity riot is doing compared to Dota.

Good job Rito

I love it that they actually expanded on the extremely dramatic backstory that we got teased with. The potential i pointed out was used!

F**k yea!

I thought it was new Shrek movie trailer.

I think that her father(?) was not caring somehow about her and only about the "sister",either this or something sad really happened to make annie such a twisted little demon girl

Annie and her twin sister Emily went for a walk in the woods.There they found an alive evil teddybear named Tibbers. The 2 girls who got along very well began to fight over him. As they foughts,Tibbers noticed a flair of flames in Annie's hair.He jumped on her shoulder and whispered with a cruel,yet calm tone "Roast her,Annie". And this my friends,is the story how Annie-s sister Emily became ashes.

FakeGravity1/31/2018, 9:21:42 PM1 votes

in this episode of behind the ashes

i think the new annie should have a much more deep story, something between zoe being playful but with a bit more innocence maybe? cant way to see what riot does with this
